Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy for students to create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share their creations on the web.
Scratch is available as a free download for Mac and PC computers.
Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.
Students can animate their own stories and games to enhance classroom curriculum. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
Scratch projects can be put on the gallery and students can "remix" others' creations.

This looks like a great program for many content areas. I am specifically interested in how this could be used in an ESL setting. Thanks for posting this!
